Apply light pressure to the left side while lowering the tray to its original position.

thank u for the tutorial. great step by step because it was so easy to get my psp fixed on my own…no need to send in repairs and get charged for a $10 or less umd cover…more satisfaction when done on out own. thank u again

Thanks! I just wanted to make a note that you don’t actually have to take the screen off and mess with the ribbon cables. I just lifted it up, unscrewed those two screws, and snapped it back on. Just don’t forget to put the screws back in before you put the cover on like I did.
